mm/memory_hotplug.c: fix building of node hotplug zonelist
During memory hotplug we refresh zonelists when we online a page in a new
zone. It means that the node's zonelist is not initialized until pages
are onlined. So for example, "nid" passed by MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier
will point to NODE_DATA(nid) which has no zone fallback list. Moreover,
if we hot-add cpu-only nodes, alloc_pages() will do no fallback.
This patch makes a zonelist when a new pgdata is available.
Note: in production, at fujitsu, memory should be onlined before cpu
and our server didn't have any memory-less nodes and had no problems.
But recent changes in MEM_GOING_ONLINE+page_cgroup
will access not initialized zonelist of node.
Anyway, there are memory-less node and we need some care.
